Clinicians in the critical care setting see extensive, severe, and often necrotizing infection, as well as atypical or unusual infection that can be misdiagnosed, resulting in delays in treatment. Greater numbers of immunocompromised patients are at risk for both types of infection. A thorough understanding of various etiologies and presentations of these infections is essential, as is the ability to discriminate between infectious and noninfectious etiologies.
重症监护环境中的临床医生会遇到广泛、严重且常为坏死性的感染，以及可能被误诊从而导致治疗延误的非典型或罕见感染。越来越多的免疫功能低下患者面临这两种感染的风险。全面了解这些感染的各种病因和表现形式至关重要，区分感染性病因和非感染性病因的能力同样重要。
